Presentation: Award winning love Submitted photo/Caloosa Humane Society Caloosa Humane Society President Tim Haley, and Director Suzanne Bonnell flank Mary Bartoshuk, winner of the first ever Cornelius "Kees" Huijer Award. Humane society presents award The Caloosa Humane Society is very proud to announce the first recipient of its Cornelius "Kees" Huijer Award for Philanthropic Efforts for Animals. This very sig- nificant award went to Mary Bar- toshuk, well known throughout the community for her volunteer efforts for both humans and ani- mals. Mary has been a vital link between the humane society and the LaBelle community for many years. She started a pet therapy program where she took home- less pets from the shelter to area convalescent centers and senior centers for visits with clients. Brightening people's days with these visits always put a special glow to Mary's cheeks. She would be smiling from ear to ear when she brought the pet back to the shelter, full of stories of the Caloosa Belle/Patty Brant antics of'each pet and how the Swea Nightingale hand crafted this beautiful Cowboy %isit touched each person.

The event coincided with the annual Boat Parade, which had people lined up along the banks See Awards Page 2 for a good view of the elaborately decorated boats. Also on the list are $300,000 for Fort Denaud Bridge improve- ments, $250,000 for Lake Okee- chobee National Pollution Dis- charge Elimination System compliance, $900,000 for Air- glades Airport Utility System Waste Water Treatment Plant and $200,000 for improvements to the Hendry County Fairgrounds. Hendry County is also hoping to receive grants of almost $1.9 million for a new Emergency Operations Center, $200,000 for Clewiston East Park and $6.7 mil- lion for the 2005 Disaster Recov- ery Initiative. In addition, the county asking the State Legislature to increase SHIP funding so the county can provide more affordable housing and is asking the Legislature to develop innovative programs to encourage private sector devel- opment of workforce housing.

The first National Hand Washing Awareness Week started in 1999 in Cincinnati, Ohio, due to the flu vaccine shortage. In collaboration with the Henry the Hand Founda- tion, the Greater Cincinnati Health Council Flu Vaccine Committee began educating the public on hand washing as the first line of defense against the flu orflu-like illness. "Floridians must take proac- tive measures to prevent the spread of infectious diseases through simple hand washing with soap and water," said Deputy State Health Officer Bonita Sorensen, M.D., M.B.A. "Reviewing and making use of these techniques will prepare and protect residents of Florida during the flu season." Hendry and Glades County Health Department Director Neftali Fernandez, M.D. added that: "You should never touch any part of your face until you wash your hands thoroughly." According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), hand washing is the sin- gle most important means in preventing the spread of infec- See Germs Page 2 Report: deep wells could reduce harmful discharges By Matt Bokor the boulder zone as a storage Harmful releases of excess zone can provide a very large water from Lake Okeechobee storm water disposal capacity, could be reduced by diverting which could reduce wet-sea- the flow deep underground son discharges to coastal envi- into a cavernous, saltwater ronments via the Caloosa- aquifer known as the "boulder hatchee River and St. Lucie zone." according to a new sci- River," according to the report. entific report.

The two recipients were 8th graders at Country Oaks Elementary, Matthew Hicks and Vanessa Martinez. The two sponsors for the scholarship are Bonita Bay and Suncoast Federal Credit Union. The two mentors for the students are Megan Hull, Speech Therapist for Hendry County Schools and Rev. Frank Deerey of the First Baptist Church. Take Stock in Children offers each child a four-year college scholarship, a volunteer mentor to provide motivation, support and tutoring, a case manager to support the student's education- al achievements and college and career counseling. The children in the program sign perform- ance contracts agreeing to get good grades, exhibit positive behaviors and remain drug and crime-free. Students who adhere to their contracts receive their four-year college scholar- ships; those who violate their contracts lose their scholarship and place in the program to other deserving children. Children applying to the pro- gram must meet strict financial and academic criteria to be selected. Students must be eligi- ble for free or reduced lunch See Scholars -Page 2 V: V V: -O_ ,-y~ Caloosa Belle/Kristin Hunter From left: sister Nadia, nephew Adrian and mom Graciela Martinez, LMS Principal There- sa Baker, Take Stock in Children recipient Vanessa Martinez, Superintendent Toni Conner, Take Stock in Children recipient Matthew Hicks with mom Angela and sister WhitneyrCross with one of the scholarship sponsors Regional General Manager Scott Connell from Boni- ta Bay. .... :.', ., ; '.. -,- ' " 2 Caloosa Belle, Thursday, December 14,2006 ' Meeting Continued From Page 1 tive consideration included Flori- da Gulf Coast University, South Florida Water Management Dis- trict, Healthy Start Coalition, Hope Hospice, East County Water Con- trol District and Janice Groves of the Economic Development Council. Dr. Stanley Andrews, for- mer Director of Sponsored Research at Florida Atlantic Uni- versity, called attention to energy issues. After the initial session, the del- egation heard supporting infor- mation on both sides of the ongo- ing proposal to change Montura's 298 election process from one- vote-per-acre to one-man-one- vote. Residents have been seeking the change for several years but have not been able to pass a local referendum until this past sum- mer.

Previously, water discharged via deep injec- tion was considered lost for all practical purposes. "The principal objection expressed to'the deep injection well option is that the water would be 'lost,' the Fort Myers geologists explain. "However, large volumes of water are cur- rently being 'lost' each year by dis- charge to coastal areas, with asso- ciated .severe environmental damage."

More than 300 ASR wells are already included in the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plain but none has been installed yet. The array of deep wells would in effect create a freshwater resource, which could operate in part as an ASR system, the report says. The report concludes: "Deep injection wells have the potential to play an important role in solving the greatest environ- ment problem currently facing Florida, restoration of the Ever- glades, while protecting coastal environments. A deep injection well system may also create an exploitable source of freshwater that could be used for irrigation, which would allow for the reser- vation of fresh groundwater and surface water for other uses.

Stunned staff and patients are soldiering on, trying hard to put on a happy face while coping with the loss of this newest member of their family. Chocolate was abduct- ed some time during the night Saturday, Dec. 9.

Dear fellow citizens, There are three aspects of marriage: the legal, traditional and the spiritual. It occurred to me .that I should probably explore these three a bit more in depth when I was told by some- one, quite flatly, that marriage is an institution made specifically for a man'and a woman to facili tate the creation of a family. It is an ancient tradition that has exist- ed as long as anyone knows and though it has had different social purposes at times, the intention to have children and to pass on a family name is the core founda- tion of marriage. I think it is important that when a tradition such as this enforces a restriction of some sort on a group of people that it be examined carefully. I'm sure we can all agree that just because something is traditional does not mean that it should remain as it was intended. It was once a tradi- tion that a woman remain a housewife and not have anything to do with the more manly affairs of the work place. It is important for us to ask whether or not mar- riage is a tradition worth chang- ing as well. It is somewhat paradoxical to limit marriage to only a man and a woman based on the idea that it is intended only to facilitate the creation of a family. Correct me if I'm wrong, but last I checked that is the very reason homosexuals would like to get married. They want to form families of. their own as well. It would be contrary to the purpose of marriage to not allow gay marriage based on this idea. It is equally pointless to restrict marriage to only a man and a woman based on the traditional idea that it leads to the birth of a child and the subsequent "pass- ing on" of the family narrie, which would not occur in a homosexual. relationship. We cannot rightfully limit one group based on this definition without limiting all groups based on it as well. So should we then deny the right of marriage to.heterosexual couples who would not be capa- ble of having children of their own? The answer of course is no, so that only leaves us with the explanation that the tradition of marriage should remain between a man and a woman because it is traditionally between a man and. a woman. Besides that, being a circular argument and a very basic logical fallacy (it's like say- ing something is bad because it's bad), we should at least ask our- selves why. Sincerely hoping for an answer, CharlesB.

For the past seven years Hendry County Economic Development Council has held the Captain Hendry Holiday Dinner to benefit the Education Center of Southwest Florida. In those seven years over $60,000 has been raised to help operating expenditures for the Ed Center. This dinner is a large under- taking and without help from numerous people and organiza- tions could not be the success it turns out to be every year. Four years ago the dessert auction was originated to provide added rev- enue to the proceeds from the din- ner. Every year since the desserts have become more decadent and the competition more intense to see whose dessert will sell highest and to see who will be the highest bidder. Numerous citizens and elected officials participate in providing a delicious dessert to auction off. Due to the large number of donations for the auction, and the length of time it takes to do it live, this year's auction was divided into both silent and live enabling more people to share in the fun of bidding and buy- ing. A huge thank you goes to our sponsors Southwest Florida \Work- force Development Board and Bonita Bay Group. They see the need for technical and career train- ing at a location close to those who can take advantage of it: Their con- tinued sponsorship has given the Economic Development Council the opportunity to provide this sup- port to the Ed Center. I would like to thank those com-. mittee members (Geri Yoraschek, Phil Keyes, Estela Hemandez, Julie Wilkins, Janet Papinaw, Cheryl Jut- jahr and Kevin Thomas) who gave their time and expertise in planning another successful event. Then a thank you goes to those who helped decorate the Captain Hendry House for the event: the City of LaBelle, Geri Yoraschek, Becky Adams, Kevin Thomas (the fantastic addition of all the Christ- mas lights), Dawn Gagne, TerryFer- rara, Janet Papinaw and Jeni Dyess. Italian fare, prepared by Karen from Boo Boos, was festively set out under a large tent andserved by C-21 Sunbelt Realty including Paul and. Maria Musler, Jill Dillman, Trace and Marty Pfluge and Janet Papinaw. The list of donators (mostly desserts) is extensive and we could not have done this withoutt them. They include Dawn Gagne, Forrey's Restaurant, Bonita Bay Group (golf packages and wine selections), Maine's Best Seafood, Donna Baines, Marty Pfluge, Martha Pierce. Manr Bartoshuk .Michelle's Southern Dining, Flora and Ella's Restaurant, Darrell Harris.

Auction netted $5,600 And then there are the buyers. What would we do with all those delicious desserts and special dona- tions without them? Couse Farms was the big buyer for the evening, followed closely by Lodge Con- struction, Larry Hall of Florida Community Bank, Attorney Jimmy Luckey; Royal Properties and First Bank of Clewiston. Other buyers included Richard Yoraschek, Bonita Bay Group, Stephanie Weather- ford, Southern Gardens, Betty and Clyde Aiken and Flora and Ella's Restaurant. Thank you for your generosity and support of HCEDC and the Ed Center. And who were the big sellers? Three sold for $700 each: Margaret White for her ever famous Choco ChocoCake w"Cheesecake Center, Peggy Hampton for the delicious looking Chocolate Wonder Cake and Kevin Thomas for his creation of Cheesecake with Key Lime Top- ping and Espresso Crust. Gator Hammock's BBQ for 25 followed for $650, Patty McGill's Coca Cola Cake, plus 1 year of monthly desserts went for $550 and Leslie 'Royal's (first time donator) Pecan Pumpkin Layer Cake\\ent for $500. The other decadent desserts and offerings earned the Ed Center much needed revenue for this next year. The Firehouse Cultural Center (Barbara Brandenburg and Martha Pierce; again provided assistance with tickets and auction. The LaBelle Chamber of Commerce (Sara Townsend land' Pudge Lehman), board members of both HCEDC and the Ed Center were instrumental in making sure theta tickets sold Thank you Caloosa Belle, Hendry Glades Sunday News, Moore Haven Democrat, and Clewiston News for media cover- age and to the Clewiston Chamber for including the event in their weekly newsletter. Thank you, Ed Center for donat- ing the storage shed for the auction.

JaniceGroves Think before you lend out your car ,: out your -' .* .-' This is a tip that might make you seem like a less than caring person, but I will tell you how to solve the problem. Most of us, at one time or another, lend our automobile to a, friend or neighbor, or we have bor- rowed one from them. This could cause a nightmare. Your personal automobile insurance policy "fol- lows" your car. Therefore, if you lend your car to someone, and they get into an accident in which they are at fault, you get sued, not the driver. That is the case even when the police officer sites your friend with the ticket, not you. One solu- tion is to just drive your friend where they need to go and don't lend outyour car. On a personal policy you still have coverage, but that won't makeyou feel any better. And, what if your friend should have a poor. driving history, but you didn't know it? That would make you look worse for not having checked them out before giving-them your car. Now let's' create a scenario that is not unrealistic. You provide your daughter with. acar to go back and forth to school. She allows her boyfriend to drive it. Here we presume you did tell your insurance company that you have this child driving your car, and she is covered driver. If the boyfriend has an accident, and he isat fault, again you may be sued unless settlement is made within the policy limits. Even then, the insurance company notes the claim against your record, and they may decide to "non- renew" you. Talk to your sons and daughters about never allowing anyone else to use your car. If you have an unusual circum- stance where a person who is not an immediate member of your family often gets use of your car (a bad idea), be sure to have their motor vehicle record checked, and get them named as an "additional named insured." . Financial Tips byWae C. Switz.er byWayneC.Switzer Any time you acquire a new vehicle, new or used, be certain to contact your agent immediately. You only have short-term coverage on that vehicle without getting it list- ed onyour policy. SI suggest that any time you plan to buy another vehicle, you call your agent first and find out if it is a problem car that they do not want to insure, or if they would assess it at high premium. This can be due to high-horsepower engines, or the probability of theft.' If you use your personal auto- mobile for some business work, as is the case with Realtors, outside sales people, pizza delivery, and other professions, be sure you have your property/casualty agent add a "business usage" rider to your poli- cy. It doesn't cost much more. Also consider higher limits for yourpown protection. Business automobile policies are a whole different animal! If I wrote all that you need to know here in this column, there wouldn't be enough space to handle it! Busi- ress owners, beware! A simple example of a problem...do not allow your employees to take home your business or commercial truck at night for their personal use on off hours, unless you have added that specific coverage to your business policy. If they have an accident, you may have no cover- age at all. Remember, at the scene of an accident, the police officer diligently 'Santa-Less' in Hendry? Have you ever thought what a "Santa-less" Christmas in Hendry would be like? No "Ho-Ho's," no Dancer, no Prancer, noVixen, no Rudolph. No Jingle bells in the midnight sky with that anticipation of all that joy and celebration on Christmas morning. Not withstanding the fact that Christmas has become a victim of commercialism personified, there is still a strong influence of its life- long traditions and reverence. As much as it pains me to be the deliverer of "Santa's dilemma," he has become the victim of the regu- latory "monster." Faced with out of control, mounting labor, liability and regula- tory laws, he is being forced into career redirection and retirement. He suinmed it up this way: "'las the night before Christ- mas, and Old Santa is soon to be missed. He's stressed out, and forced to throw down his list. His elves have gone on strike, the ungrateful little jerks. I'm going to scrap the whole works. He just gotword that kids are not believing, and he's ready to quit and give up on leaving. He's worked day and night for nearly a year, and he gets no thanks, and what does he hear? Mrs. Claus is upset 'cause I work 7 days and late every night. The elves want more money, and the rein- deer all fight. Rudolph got fat and can't pull his weight. Donner is lazy and Vixen's drinking and can't see straight. And just when I thought things would get better, out of the blue, the IRS sent me a letter. They say I owe back.taxes, if that ain't fs your world Get Involved funny. Who ever sent Santa Claus any money? And the kids these days, they are all only interested in high tech. They want the impossi- ble and they're making me a wreck. I spent a whole year making wagons, and sleds, assembling dolls, their arms, legs and heads. I made a ton of yoyos, no request for them. They want computers, I- pods and robots, they must think I'm IBM! All that flying through the air, dodging space shuttles and trees. Falling up steps and down chimneys, skinning up my knees. I'm seriously thinking about quit- ting this job, there's just no enjoy- ment. I'll sit by the fire with Mrs. Claus and draw unemployment. So, if there's no Christmas this year, now you kno'v the reason. I'm seri- ously considering retiring and going South for the season." The last word I had from Santa is that he's consulting with NASA about retrograding his sled, putting the reindeer out to pasture and tak- ing Mrs. Claus on a second honey- moon on Sanibel. So if his contact with NASA doesn't work out, don't be sur- prised if Santa is AWOL this year, but you can always write your Con- gressman- or consult a lawyer and sue Santa for "non-support!" Regretfully, T. W. Bill Neville (Hendry County Citizen arid Taxpayer) records all the facts and the driver's statements, and they can be dam- aging. Here is an incredible story that was taught in P/C school many years ago. A business owner asked his secretary who was going out for her lunch hour, if she would drop off a letter at the post office for him. She did so gladly using her own car. On her way back to the office, she Decided to stop and pick up some coffee and doughnuts for him. Obviously, she was a very thought- ful secretary. She got into an acci- dent on the way back while having made only a slightly circuitous route. One question the officer asked was "where were you going." She explained the details. The insurance company denied coverage claiming that it wasbusi- ness usage of the car, since it \\as only the actions of going to the post office and doughnut shop for her boss that resulted in her being at that intersection and having involvement in the accident. The boss did not have a business auto- mobile policy covering his secre- tary, and her personal police did not cover business usage of her car. Don't blame the policeman for recording the facts as told to.him. Discuss everything carefully with your agent. Wayne C. Switzer, CLU, www.ninjadoggy@aol.com A I : I"I-I.."w'.. ... What is your advice for raising children? Caloosa Belle/Kristin Hunter Dan Shoaf said, "Dedicate a much time as you possibly can to raising the children. They grow up too fast and you S*< can't turn back the clock so once the time, is gone, it's gone. They're like sponges, I good or bad they'll pick it up. I raised three kids of my own, Stwo girls and one boy, and now I have a new granddaugh- ter and another one on the way." Mallie Parrish said, "Spend a "i lot of time with them. Love em'. Try' to teach them the right way to treat other peo- .. pie. It's important to keep -..., them in church, too. I have two grown children, one son : : . and one daughter, with kids ... ': t of their own and one great- .. grandson.".' , William Shroud "Jr." said, "First, let's see, the parent has to do the right thing so the kids will follow. Whatever the parents do the kids will S do it, too. The kids will follow the parents. Ifthe parents S smoke or drink the kids will, too. If parents raise kids with education and religion the kids will go pretty straight." Brandy Hill said, "Spend as """ much time with them as pos- sible and have lots and lots of patience. There's no trick to raising children, its simply r trial and error. Unfortunately, there's no manual to tell you how to do it. I have two girls age ten and eight and one boy age five." Louise Perkins said, "If they got a good mother they will hardly ever fail. That is the first thing God intended. I never took a job out of the house so I could take care of my children. I had eight kids and now I have 12 grandchil- dren and 13 great grandchil- dren and I've loved every minute of it." Caloosa Belle, Thursday, December 14, 2006 . Caloosa Belle/Patty Brant Special delivery Salvation Army Human Service Coordinator Debbie Lavender and American Legion Com- mander Bill Davis stopped by the LaBelle Post Office recently to accept delivery on four hampers overflowing with toys and love for less fortunate kids.

According to FPL, the two-unit, 1,960-megawatt coal power plant will use advanced technology in pollution control to ensure emis- sions are below state and federal guidelines. However, some locals still have concerns that it might not meet future standards for carbon dioxide and mercury emissions. The Sierra Club has also expressed reservations about the project. The representatives said the coal burning plant will be using technol- ogy never before used in this coun- try, although it is being utilized in both Europe and Japan. The plant is expected to help' serve energy needs for a growing statewide for some 650,000 homes. Construction is to begin in 2008. The first unit is expected to be on line in 2012, with the second phase coming online the following year. However, the process has a long way to go before construction can begin. Incoming Governor Charlie Crist and his cabinet will have the final say as to whether or not FPL gets its permitting. According to Terri Electricity usage in Florida has increased by 30 percent in the past 20 years. She said FPL diversifies the fuel sources at its plants, using oil, natural gas, nuclear energy and a small portion of other fuels. Diversi- fication helps ensure continued availability and helps guard against interruption in supplies caused by political and climate disruptions. The representatives explained that FPL does not use more renew- able fuels because it is notyet viable on a large scale in Florida. The coal to be used at the Glades County plant will come from Appalachia and also from South America. Two railroad lines will make supplying the plant easy from both east and west, further ensuring accessibility. To further guard against possi- ble fuel disruption, the plant will have the capacity to stockpile a 60- day supply of coal, which will be. brought in on specially-designed railroad cars that minimize any loss ofcoal. Economic benefits to locals include construction jobs for some 16,000 people for five years as well as 180 full-time permanent jobs at Students of the Month for December, 2006 from Upthe- grove Elementary School: Row 1: Fernando Santiago, Leah Gutierrez, Odalys Martinez, Emily Royal; row 2: Briceida Guzman, Carl Willis, Micholas Williams, Felix Flores; row 3: Sandy Dossou, Cristian Venegas, Elyssa Willis; row 4: Jessie Miller, Sheena Heuer, Michael Her- nandez, Garrett Coker, Hunter Spargo; row 5: Christian Trejo, Cindy Alvarado, Jasmin Gonzalez, Kendrick Rivera. the site and another 150 indirect jobs. The process will also provide ash and gypsum as saleable by- products. In addition, Glades County can expect to receive $21 million per year in tax revenue for 40 years.' Hendry County stands to receive several million annually in taxes from the substation. You can e-mail Patty Brant at: cbeditor@newszap.com r-.---------------- SSPORTS FANS! . I I IYOU . I I DIDN'T KNOW I I I S Brought toyouby I Lor Langford I I I At the end of the 2006 college football I Season, which two Division I-A teams I had played each other the most times? ISurpisingly, the answer is Big Ten rivals Wisconsin and Minnesota with I 116 battles. For half of those years, the I Coach at St. John's University down the road in Minnesota has been John Gagliardi. In his 58th season, the amaz- ing Gagliardi actually coached get this I I two grandsons of his former players. SThe winningest coach in college football history, in 2006 Gagliardi became the first active head coach ever inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. I I Did you hear about the quarterback who lost twice to the same school play- Iing for two different teams over a six- Sweek span? It's not easy, but here's how it happened. One week after Colorado I lost its 2006 season opener to Montana IState in a shocking upset, Colorados QB IBrian White transferred to Division I- SAA Portland State. He was able to suit I up because I-AA transfers are eligible to I play immediately. So five weeks later, I Whiteand his new team faced the very I I same Montana State team, and White I I found himself on the losing end yet I I again. I I. I I S The young NBA superstar trio of SLeBron James, Dwyane Wade and SCarmelo Anthony has basketball fans dreaming of the magical Michael SJordan-Magic Johnson-Larry Byrd era. But during the 2005-06 season, the new guard accomplished something never done by Jordan, Magic and Byrd in the same season. All three averaged at least 26.5 points per game in only their third years in the league. The last trio of third-year pros to do that was Jerry West, Oscar Robertson and Walt Bellamy way back in 1963. S I'll bet you didn't know, coming or going, that when the rubber hits the road, ou can't afford not to buy from Langford.

They were here back in October at the First Baptist Church to present their projects to the LaBelle community at the halfway point. Now they are finished with their projects and most have made a few changes. Most of the projects became more specific. They didn't really change their projects, they just expanded on their original idea. They have continued by figuring out what the inside and outside materials will be. Most of the students chose the river as the location for their new buildings and decided to tear down the existing library and move the bridge on Bridge St. to a more con- ducive part of town. All students noticed that the traffic by the bridge is too busy and too dangerous in the middle of downtown and needs to be re-routed for safety. One of the projects was a Marine Biology Facility on the river done by Abdel Martel. He chose to tear down the existing Barron Library and demolish the existing bridge and would build two new bridges between Lee and Main St. His building is of contemporary architecture that is mainly con- crete. He uses an all glass curtain Caloosa Belle/Kristin Hunter Abdel Martel explains his model of a Marine Biology Facility to Linda McVey and Mac Baker. wall so that the view of the river and the city is seen at all points throughout his building. His build- ing also consists of a media center and auditorium on the second level for community use. He also chose to build an on-site housing pro- gram a.k.a. apartments across from his building on the other side of the river for student housing. The University of North Carolina, as well as University of Miami both have buildings similar to his Marine Biology Facility but on a much larg- er scale. The idea of his building is to be similar to the Parliament House in Australia which is an urban center that combines func- tion and entertaining at the same time. Patricia Galleagos designed a floating museum and library. She also chose to tear down the current Barron Library and use that space as her building space The building is both accessible from the bridge or by dock. The floating museum is intended to be stable and mobile so people can hop on and ride down the river while learning about the history of it. It would be similar to a river tour or they can be attached to the bridge and learn about the history from there. The library is accessible from the ground up, meaning that people can walk on the roof of the library. Daphne Rosas designed a com- munity centered building that she originally planned to sit on 400 (t. of the riverfront. She changed her mind and decided to angle her buildings to be an extension of the city rather than running along the bank of the river. Her buildings also became more angular. She also chose to use the glass wall approach SQ as to have a great view at all times. Isis Dorado designed a civic center, restaurant, market place and retail building. She decided to change the look ot her building and also added a hotel. She also changed the direction of the river water flow into the building from clockwise to counter clockwise. Her building is narrow because it helps with light and air flow into the building. All the walls are made of glass to get a good view of the river and city. She also decided to re-route the bridge over to Lee St. and change the bridge into a mari- na. Alberto Corripio designed a library museum multi-use space Third class of HEO graduates building. He .changed his land- scape and interior designs and added a kids' playground aswell as an outdoor exercise area where the current Barron Park is. Daniel Garcia changed the angle of his building and added a zone of activity for basketball and tennis. His design is intended to break up the active and non-active zones. Daniel discussed the major issue with the bridge being where it is currently located because it is very dangerous and sees too much heavy traffic. He discussed different options of placing the bridge in LaBelle in a different location with agriculture engineer and river expert John Capece. They dis- cussed areas such as'City Ditch Rd., Collingswood, Birchwood and in between Lee St. and Bridge St. Citizens of LaBelle were there to look over the students' ideas and were very hopeful for the future of downtown LaBelle.
